Somersault: Full Cast & Crew 2005 Drama/LGBTQ+
Following a reckless encounter with her mother's boyfriend, teenage Heidi is forced to flee home and restart her life, finding refuge at a motel in the icy ski town of Jindabyne. There, she lands a job at a petrol station, befriends her warm co-worker Bianca, and meets Joe, a young man grappling with his own emotional baggage. As Heidi and Joe pursue a shaky relationship and search for normalcy against a bleak winter backdrop, they must confront their vices, feelings of isolation, and need for love and belonging. Cate Shortland's stunning feature debut is a "frank and visceral film that at the same time exudes an unexpected innocence" (Los Angeles Times). Featuring early performances from Abbie Cornish and Sam Worthington, Somersault sheds light on the complexity of growing up and the quiet ache of loneliness. Released: Oct 28, 2005 See Movie Details
